Oat Extract Beta is obtained by the fermentation of oat extract in the presence of Lactobacillus. Oats contain high concentrations of β-Glucans. Oat Extract Beta is standardized for beta-glucan content from 1.5 to 2.5%.
This product's molecular weight ranges between 200k and 500k Daltons. Oat Extract Beta is a water-soluble ingredient that is perfect for use in a variety of skin care applications to provide conditioning and anti-aging benefits. Please note, when formulating, it is recommended to maintain a pH range between 4 and 7 at a temperature below 70° Celsius.
Why it Crystallizes: Precipitation or crystallization is a known, characteristic behavior of oat beta-glucan solutions, particularly at cooler temperatures.
Storage Recommendations: It is best stored at room temperature (typically 16–32°C or 23–25°C) to avoid accelerating this precipitation.
How to Reverse Crystallization: As your supplier noted, thorough mixing will dissolve the crystals. You can gently warm the container (e.g., in a warm water bath to roughly 45-50°C) to help the crystals dissolve faster.
Efficacy: The presence of crystals does not affect the efficacy of the product. They can be filtered out if necessary.
